Plastic surgery disasters as diplomats

What an embarrassment. Nancy P.'s foray into the diplomasphere took an unfortunate turn.

PMO denies peace message to Assad

The Prime Minister's Office issued a rare "clarification" Wednesday that, in gentle diplomatic terms, contradicted US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's statement in Damascus that she had brought a message from Israel about a willingness to engage in peace talks.

According to the statement, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert emphasized in his meeting with Pelosi on Sunday that "although Israel is interested in peace with Syria, that country continues to be part of the Axis of Evil and a force that encourages terror in the entire Middle East."

Well said, PMO.

Nance, you did a much better job swingin your grandkids around the Capitol, throwing galas and basking in your own glow. Life lesson: Stick with that which you are good at.
